Yeah it's ridiculous. That is that they think though. Idk how anyone reaches that conclusion.
Sorry, I misread your comment. Clearly, I need some food lol
Anyway, they get there from genuinely believing that having to accept that other kinds of people exist is it being forced on them. It’s why this type also complain about seeing Black people in fantasy - because to them, their escapism is getting away from all those other kinds of people, and having to acknowledge them for even a second ruins their immersion because it breaks their twisted fantasy.
All g an appropriate response. Idk. They are not bad or unreasonable people. They have been told that their way of life is being threatened and their children endangered and blah blah blah. They are hateful and ignorant, but in many ways they're just normal people. I struggle to find ways to change minds on these issues
